As another personal taste note, I find that digging into a cup-like
or box-like container to extract parts is a pain - I line up leaded
parts by value and stick their leads into the edge of corrugated
cardboard. A USPS Priority Mail box cut in half makes 2 good trays
for holding the hardware parts and lots of cut corrugated edges to
stick the parts into. Old time Heathkit builders will recognize this method.
For an illustration of what Don's referring to, I direct your attention to:

... about 2/3 of the way down the page, just below the photo of the
Hakko 936 Soldering Station.
A setup like this makes it very easy to arrange leaded components for
easy sorting and selection.
